TOSS - Afghanistan have won the toss and ELECTED TO BAT!
Afghanistan are a strong side! They have been impressing lately with wins over South Africa and Bangladesh and without a doubt are massive favourites here. Zimbabwe on the other hand, enter this series on the back of a morale boosting win against Pakistan. Their real test will be against the Afghanistan spinners. They struggled against the Pakistan spinners and we believe that's where the game will be decided. Toss and teams in a bit. 
Cricketing action continues and it is Afghanistan taking on Zimbabwe in the latter's den! It is a long tour for the visitors. The two will be battling it out in a three game T20I series, followed by a three game ODI series and then two Tests. The action begins here at Harare and we expect this to be a cracker. 
... MATCH DAY ...
Hello cricket aficionados, from the vibrant city of Harare, we welcome you for an entertaining day of Afghanistan in Zimbabwe, 3 T20I Series, 2024 action. The historic Harare Sports Club plays host as Zimbabwe squares off against Afghanistan in what promises to be a close affair.
